,  PREFACE 

If  you  have  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  principles 
of  word  construction  and  the  application  of  those  prin- 
ciples to  the  making  of  phrases,  you  already  know  how 
to  construct  phrases.  It  is  assumed  that  you  have 
thoroughly  mastered  each  lesson  in  the  Bobert  F.  Eose 
Expert  Shorthand  Course  so  far  as  you  have  gone,  and 
if  so,  you  will  find  few  if  any  new  ideas  in  this  book 
relative  to  the  subject  of  phrasing. 

What,  then,  is  the  object  of  the  book?  There  must  be 
an  object,  else  it  would  not  have  been  written.  If  there 
are  no  principles  in  this  book  not  completely  covered 
in  the  course,  what  is  the  reason  for  it? 

In  the  first  place,  this  book  presents  in  convenient 
form  all  the  word-signs  and  phrase  principles  in  order 
to  make  them  easy  of  reference.  If  this  were  the  only 
object,  the  book  would  be  justified. 

But  to  my  mind  the  most  important  use  to  which  this 
book  can  be  put  is  that  of  review  work.  No  matter  how 
thoroughly  you  have  mastered  the  lessons,  no  matter 
how  much  study  you  have  given  the  course,  frequent 
review  of  the  principles  of  phrase  construction  and 
practise  in  writing  the  phrase  outlines  will  be  found 
most  helpful.  No  one  can  know  shorthand  too  well, 
and  as  has  been  frequently  iterated  in  the  course,  the 
instant  application  of  the  shorthand  of  which  you  have 
a  knowledge  is  an  ability  which  comes  only  through 
the  most  assiduous  practise. 

In  the  last  quarter  of  a  century  it  has  been  my  work 
to  instruct  others  in  the  art  of  writing  shorthand.  To 
do  this,  it  has  been  necessary  for  me  to  go  through  the 
principles  thousands  of  times.  In  the  correction  of  the 
work  of  correspondence  pupils,  thousands  of  questions 


HOW   TO   CONSTRUCT   SHORTHAND  PHRASES 

have  been  asked  of  me.  I  can  truthfully  say  that  I 
have  never  gone  through  a  lesson  with  a  pupil,  but  I 
have  been  imprest  with  the  science  which  underlies 
the  principles  of  shorthand,  and  that  each  time  I  have 
seen  new  beauties  and  new  features  which  close  analy- 
zation  has  revealed.  A  more  profitable  evening  cannot 
be  imagined  by  me  than  the  taking  of  the  phrases  from 
phonographic  dictation.  Each  hour's  work  of  this  kind 
makes  those  phrases  more  easily  executed,  and  I  pre- 
dict that,  no  matter  how  long  you  may  write  shorthand, 
you  will  ever  find  profitable  the  time  devoted  to  just 
such  work. 

And  it  is  for  this  reason  that  this  book  will  be  found 
of  great  value  to  you.  That  value,  of  course,  will  de- 
pend upon  the  time  you  give  to  it.  It  places  the  oppor- 
tunity before  you  to  become  more  accomplished  as  a 
shorthand  note-maker,  and  it  is  my  sincere  wish  that 
you  make  use  of  it. 

Yours  truly,

vowel  word-signs  are  made  downward.

WRITING  EXERCISE 

Write  the  following  exercise  frequently  in  order  to 
firmly  fix  the  word-signs  in  your  mind: 

The,  but,  I,  first,  who,  or,  a,  awe,  is,  you,  ought,  about,  an,  already, 
his,  as-his,  how,  too,  an,  oh,  as,  as-has,  should,  two,  and,  owe,  has, 
as-is,  him,  put,  he,  of,  go,  is-his,  on,  or,  is-as,  already,  to,  is-his,  go, 
put,  eye,  as-is,  all,  first,  to. 


THE  SIMPLE  CONSONANT  WORD-SIGNS

The  plural  number  and  possessive  case  of  nouns  rep- 
resented by  word-signs,  may  be  indicated  by  adding  iss : 

^ .V 

things  languages  homes  objects 

Self  and  selves  may  be  added  to  pronouns  by  iss  and 

ses: 


himself 


herself 


ourselves 


yourselves 


HOW  TO  CONSTRUCT  SHORTHAND  PHRASES 

Derivatives  from  the  word-signs  may  be  formed  by 
adding  the  character  representing  the  derivative,  either 
joined  or  disjoined,  to  the  primitive : 


\l 

\  /- 

V 

~~^sr~.... 

1 

objected 

V

happier 

TY^ 

hourly 

SIMPLE  PHRASING 

When  two  or  more  outlines  join  easily  and  naturally, 
they  may  be  so  joined,  the  first  outline  usually  retain- 
ing its  position: 


if-you-will  for-you-will  you-may-have       do-you-recollect 


do-you-know  for-them  these-may-be     you-will-have-them 

The  word-sign  you  may  be  inverted  when  a  more  con- 
venient joining  will  result.  When  prefixed,  the  word- 
sign  you  does  not  influence  the  position  of  the  outline 
to  which  it  is  joined : 

1 

if-you-have        will-you-say  you-have-it  you-do 

In  phrasing,  the  word-sign  you  may  also  be  used  to 
indicate  the  word  your: 


... 

by-your-leave       in-your-officc          for-your-money         in-your-shop

Chapter  Two 
PEEFIXES  AND  AFFIXES 

A  prefixed  ket-oid  or  tet-oid  will  represent  the  word 
a,  an  or  and: 


-1 

A... 

-^ 

and-live          and-in          a-dollar 

V 

a-party 

an-importi 

A  pet-oid,  chet-oid  or  ret-oid  may  be  used  to  prefix 
the  word  I,  he  or  hoiv.  When  used  in  the  first  position, 
the  word  I,  is  prefixed ;  when  used  in  the  second  posi- 
tion, the  word  he  is  prefixed,  and  when  used  in  the  third 
position  the  word  hoiv  is  prefixed : 


I-may        he-may      how-may        I-will          he-will          how-will 

Suggestions — In  the  above  rule,  the  prefix  determines  the  position 
of  the  outline,  and  most  frequently  the  outline  is  taken  from  its 
natural  position  to  accommodate  itself  to  the  position  of  the  prefix. 
Legibility  of  the  prefix  demands  strict  adherence  to  the  positions 
given  in  this  rule.  Even  when  there  are  other  prefixes,  the  prefix 
1,  lie,  or  how  determines  the  position  of  the  outline. 

The  word  and  may  be  prefixed  to  the  prefix  I,  lie  or 
how  with  a  ket-oid: 


.1 


and-I  and-he  and-how         and-I-was        and-how-many 

17 


HOW   TO   CONSTRUCT   SHORTHAND   PHRASES 

The  word  should  following  I,  he  or  how  is  shown  in 
the  following  manner: 


I-should         he-should     how-should         I-should-say          he-should-be 

A  pet-oid,  ret-oid  or  chet-oid  may  be  used  to  suffix 
the,  he  or  him: 


from-the          is-he          he-is-the  as-he  how-is-he 

from-him         is-the  as-the  how-is-the 

The  words  the  and  a  may  be  suffixed  to  the  dash  vowel 
word-signs  in  the  following  manner  : 

^-  >  L  v 

..............................................  V...  ...............  >  ........................................................... 

of  -a        of-the          to-a          to-the  or-a  or-the 


but-a       but-the      put-a     put-the    and-a        and-the          on-a 

on-the  should-a        should-the          how-a  how-the 

Suggestions — The  use  of  the  oid  to  suffix  a  to  the  dash  vowel 
word-signs,  is  the  only  exception  to  the  rule  that  a  is  never  suffixed. 
It  will  be  noted  that  the  dash  vowels  vary  as  much  as  possible  before 
the  suffixes  a  and  the,  in  order  that  conflicts  may  be  prevented.

CUMULATIVE  PHRASING 

Iss  may  be  used  to  represent  the  word  us  or  house: 


for-us  see-us  State-house  from-us  by-us 

Suggestions — This  principle  should  not  always  be  used  to  show 
the  word  house,  but  is  used  when  that  word  is  of  frequent  occur- 
rence in  regular  work.  It  is  generally  limited  to  such  words  as 
"State-house,"  "warehouse,"  etc. 

Stey  may  be  used  to  represent  the  word  street: 

•  ^  / 


Lake-street  Elm-street  Oak-street  Jackson-street 

Vee  may  be  used  to  represent  the  word  avenue: 


Lake-avenue         Johnson-avenue       Jackson-avenue  Murray-avenue 

Ster  will  add  the  word  store;  sters  will  add  the  word 
stairs: 

(T 


book-store        upstairs          back-stairs   your-store  my-store 

Disjoined  ses  will  add  the  syllables  lessness: 


„./.* /

fixed: 


1 ( 

to-the-desk        to-day  to-the-dock  to-do  to-them 

The  final  syllable  ing  may  be  shown  by  a  small  dot 
written  immediately  after  or  below  an  outline;  by 
changing  the  dot  to  iss,  the  syllable  ings  may  be  shown : 

...! i ). ) i- 

doing  doings  saying  sayings  having 

By  changing  the  dot  to  a  pet-oid  or  chet-oid  or  ret- 
old, the  syllables  ing-the  or  ing-him  may  be  added ;  by 
using  a  ket-oM  or  a  tet-oid,  the  syllables  ing -a,  ing-an

HOW   TO   CONSTRUCT   SHORTHAND   PHRASES 

The  iv-hook  may  be  used  on  lay,  em,  en  and  ray  to 
prefix  the  words  we,  icitli  or  icere;  when  the  word  ice 
is  prefixed  the  outline  is  always  written  in  the  first 
position : 

n 


we-receive         were-referred  we-always  we-also 

Suggestions — In  the  above  lesson  will  be  found  some  actual  01111111- 
lative  phrases.  Very  few  principles  in  shorthand  present  more 
opportunities  for  contracting  the  notes  than  do  the  principles  of 
the  w-hook  and  the  y-hook.  Some  of  those  given  in  this  lesson  have 
never  before  been  presented  in  any  work  on  the  subject  of  short- 
hand. This  is  especially  true  with  the  principle  of  enlarging  the 
w-hook  word-signs  to  add  you  or  your. 

Because  of  unfamiliarity  with  these  principles  the  average  stenog- 
rapher will  be  inclined  to  doubt  their  practicability.  Many  may  say 
that  it  is  impossible  to  write  shorthand  in  so  contracted  a  form  and 
yet  be  absolutely  sure  of  reading  it  fluently.  Old  reporters,  who 
have  not  seen,  and  consequently  have  not  used,  these  principles,  may 
shake  their  heads  and  claim  that  the  principles  are  not  legible. 

In  order  that  any  principle  in  shorthand  may  be  legible,  there  must 
be  a  thorough  understanding  of  that  principle.  These  principles 
are  no  exception  to  that  rule.  Every  phrase  given  has  an  underlying 
principle,  is  written  according  to  that  principle  (hence,  is  more 
easily  mastered  than  arbitrary  phrases),  and  is  read  by  that  princi- 
ple. This  makes  the  phrases  easy  to  write  and  just  as  easy  to  read. 

To  the  writers  of  those  systems  which  do  not  include  the  above 
principles,  and  who  may  be  somewhat  timid  in  adopting  them,  the 
author  desires  to  say  that  no  safer  or  more  convenient  cumulative 
phrasing  principles  exist.  There  is  absolutely  no  danger  of  conflict 
when  the  principles  are  used  to  distinguish  between  the  pronouns 
we  and  you.  This  series  of  rules  saves  an  immense  amount  of  time 
in  writing,  is  absolutely  safe  to  use.  and,  after  master}-,  is  one  of 
the  most  frequently  employed  in  all  shorthand.

DOUBLE    LENGTH    CUMULATIVE    PHRASING 

A  word-sign  or  outline  ending  without  a  hook  or 
circle  may  be  doubled  to  add  thr: 


from-thr  see-thr  value-thr  for-thr 

Suggestions — In  these  rules,  as  well  as  in  the  word-signs  given 
in  this  lesson,  thr  is  used  to  indicate  the  word  there  or  their,  or  the 
words  they  are. 

This  principle  may  be  used  with  the  more  common  single  straight- 
stroke  words  and  word-signs. 

Doubling  the  length  of  a  full-length  word-sign  or 
outline  having  no  final  hook,  circle  or  loop,  will  add 
other  or  whether: 


some-other  in-other  do-you-know-whether 

Tripling  the  length  of  a  full-length  word-sign  or  out- 
.line  having  no  final  hook,  circle  or  loop,  will  add 
whether-there: 


do-you-know-whether-there-was       do-you-recollect-whether-there-was 

When  a  stroke  is  doubled  to  add  ivhether,  an  n-hook 
will  add  the  words  or-not:

If  it  is  desired  to  distinguish  didn't  from  did-not, 
don't  from  do-not,  hadn't  from  had  not,  it  may  be  done 
by  vocalization,  as  follows: 

±  ....................................  c  ....................................  .(.  ...................................  (,  ...... 

they-did-not  they-didn't  they-do-not  they-don't 

The  r-hook  may  be  omitted  from  the  word-signs  for

I-do-not-remernber  I-did-not-remember  I-am-not-sure 

The  following  phrases  derive  their  origin  from  the 
half-length  principle,  in  conjunction  with  Rule  14,  Les-

to-that  to-this  to-them 

In  prefixing  I  before  did-not,  do-not,  and  had-not,

prefix  well  off  the  line  in  I-had-not: 


I-did-not  I-do-not  I-had-not

SHORTHAND  NUMEEALS 

The  digits  are  represented  as  follows  (the  outlines 
for  5  and  7  being  written  either  downward  or  upward)  : 


1  23  45  6

The  n-hook  will  add  the  syllable  teen,  the  outline  for

The  multiples  of  10  (20,  30,  40,  50,  60,  70,  80,  and  90} 
may  be  shown  by  making  the  simple  digits  half  length 
and  always  writing  the  outline  in  first  position:

HOW  TO  CONSTRUCT  SHORTHAND  PHRASES 


Suggestions—  And  this  means  to  write  them  half  lent/Ik  and 
to  always  make  them  well  above  the  line  of  writing-,  whether  the 
outline  is  written  singly  (as  in  20,  30,  40,  50,  etc.)  or  whether  it 
concludes  a  group  of  figures,  in  which  case  the  multiple  must  be 
disjoined  (as  in  210,  in  last  illustration).  This  prevents  conflict 
with  the  characters  used  to  represent  the  simple  digits. 

In  the  following  cases,  in  order  to  prevent  an  awk- 
ward joining,  an  n-hook  is  used  : 


27 


28 


29 


47 


48 


49 


Suggestions — This  does  not  affect  the  legibility  of  the  out- 
lines, and  makes  a  more  facile  joining  possible.  Be  careful  to 
write  the  outlines  for  27,  28  and  29  with  the  straight  stroke  (pee), 
for  the  least  curve  would  cause  a  conflict  with  those  for  47,  48 
and  49. 

Doubling  the  length  of  an  outline  representing  a 
single  digit  will  repeat  that  digit,  making  it  a  double 
digit : 


33 


66 


88 


99 


Suggestions — As  no  triple  length  characters  are  employed  in 
this  plan,  it  is  well  to  be  generous  with  the  double  lengths  used  to 
show  the  double  digits  in  order  to  insure  against  conflict  with  the 
single  length  characters  which  show  the  simple  digits. 

When  the  figure  5  concludes  a  group  of  figures,  it

8,000,000  22,008,009  500 

Suggestions  —  It  will  be  noted  that  outlines  representing  figures 
may  be  joined  or  disjoined  without  endangering  their  legibility. 

In  showing  fractions,  the  numerator  should  be  placed 
over  the  denominator  : 

\  J 

2/3  7/8  9/10  99/100 


.......... 

.009  6/7  4/5  5/6  5/8 

Suggestions  —  This  merely  follows  the  method  employed  in  showing 
fractions  with  the  ordinary  Arabic  figures. 

When  the  numerator  is  1,  there  is  no  necessity  for 
disjoining  :

The  words  a-lialf,  a-quarter  and  three-quarters,  when 
used  in  conjunction  with  numerals,  may  be  represented 
by  the  following  word-signs : 


1/2 

1/4              3/4 

66-3/4 

L 

o   £p 

^ 

8-1/2 

165-1/4 

66-1/4 

Suggestions — The  word-sign  for  three-quarters  should  always 
be  disjoined  and  written  in  first  position  to  prevent  a  conflict  with 
a  badly  executed  1. 

In  order  to  distinguish  outlines  representing  digits 
from  those  representing  words,  all  numeral  outlines 
should  be  underlined  with  a  curved  stroke,  as  follows : 


9,060  90,060  4,063,480 


70,000,080          5,000,000  50,000,000 

The  word  or  occurring  between  figures  may  be  shown 
by  placing  an  initial  hook  on  the  stroke  representing 
the  first  figure,  the  r-hook  being  used  on  straight 
strokes  and  a  hook  on  the  inside  of  the  curve  on  curved

CORRESPONDENCE  WORK 

The  correct  way  of  writing  initials  is  given  in  the 
list  printed  below.  Small  letters  should  be  employed 
in  making  those  written  in  longhand.  This  will  result 
in  less  strokes  to  each  letter  and  will  permit  of  writing 
initials  without  disjoining.  The  writing  in  shorthand 
of  initials  other  than  those  shown  should  not  be  at- 
tempted, as  conflicts  would  result  were  you  to  attempt 
to  distinguish  initials  by  shading  the  outlines  repre- 
senting them.

efficiency.  Here  is  a  practical  mail  course  that  will  do  all  this

By  a  direct,  intensely  interesting,  and  practical  system,  im-

His  amazing  efficiency  was  developed  through  his  own  simple,

thinker,  and  in  public  speaking  never  be  at  a  loss  for  a  word. 
His  simple  system  will  cure  mind-wandering  and  teach  con- 
centration. Give  him  a  few  spare  minutes  daily,  at  home,  and 
you  will  be  astonished  by  the  beneficial  results.  His  promise  to 
you  is  substantiated  by  what  his  system  has  done  for  him.

"I   CAN   MAKE  YOU  A 

Convincing  Speaker' ' 

SAYS   GRENVILLE   KLEISER 

You  will  be  called  upon  to  speak  in  public — sometime — some- 
where. It  may  be  at  a  business  affair,  a  dinner  or  other  social 
function,  at  a  political  meeting,  or  in  your  lodge-room,  (an 
you  "say  your  say"  confidently  and  forcefully? 

Here  is  the  man  who  can  give  you  this  ability.  Grenville 
Kleiser's  wonderfully  practical  Mail  Course  in  Public  Speak- 
ing takes  only  fifteen  minutes  of  your  time  daily  in  your  home 
or  office,  and  it  teaches  you  quickly — 

How  to  Make  After-Dinner  How  to  Develop  Power  and 
Speeches —  Personality — 

How  to  Propose  and  Respond  to  How  to  Improve  Your  Memory — 

Toasts —  How   to    Increase   Your   Vocabu- 

How  to  Tell  Stories —  lary — 

How  to  Make  Political  How  to  Acquire  Poise  and  Self- 
Speeches  Confidence — 

How  to  Sell   More  Goods —  How  to  Speak  and  Write  English 

How  to  Address  Board   Meet-  Correctly — 

ings  How  to  Earn   More — Achieve 

More. 

There  is  absolutely  no  uncertainty — no  guesswork — about  Mr. 
Kleiser's  methods.  He  has  had  years  of  experience  as  a  teacher 
of  public  speaking  in  leading  educational  institutions,  is  the  founder 
and  director  of  the  Public  Speaking  Club  of  America  and  Great 
Britain,  and  is  generally  recognized  as  the  foremost  teacher  of 
speech  culture. 

His  Personal  Mail  Course  is  his  life  work.  Into  it  he  has  put 
the  ripe  fruits  of  his  many  years  of  experience  as  a  teacher. 

We  will  send  descriptive  literature  showing  how  Grenville 
Kleiser's  Mail  Course  not  only  will  teach  you  how  to  speak  with- 
out notes,  but  how  it  will  increase  your  self-confidence  and  give 
you  a  good  memory,  build  up  and  augment  your  personal  power  and 
influence,  and  improve  your  use  of  the  English  language;  how 
it  will  teach  you  to  argue  effectively  and  icinnlni/ly — present  a 
proposition  logically  and  forcefully;  how  it  will  teach  you  to  hold 
attention — to  think  on  your  feet.  This  Course  will  bring  out  the 
best  that  is  in  you,  by  making  you  a  positive,  clear-cut,  convincing 
thinker  and  speaker. 

Remember,  this  Course  does  not  cost  from  $40.00  to  $100.00  and 
upward,  the  tuition  fees  usually  asked  for  correspondence  instruc- 
tion. It  costs  very  little  for  the  value  received.  The  price  to  you 
will  be  only  about  one-fifth  of  what  you  would  pay  Mr.  Kleiser 
for  studio  instruction — and  the  terms  of  payment  are  very  easy. 

By  all  means  write  for  free  information  at  once.  No  agent  will 
call  upon  you  nor  will  you  obligate  yourself  in  any  way  by  making 
this  request.
